Is there anyone who does NOT want JAY-Z to headline :/

[Dannny]

Personally, I can't stand the guy. The rapping irritates me.

I don't want him at V Festival. Anyone with me?

Feel free to hate me

(Yeah, Im starting my moaning early this time)

[thetime]

he would be a good headliner, he headlined glastonbury so im sure he could headline v.

Not my type of music I listen to or go to watch but can understand him headlining,

its better than having the usual suspects rolled out every year or so.

didnt see him at glastonbury last year, but friends who did said he was very good.

But to be fair anybody thats watched the enemy, fightstar and nickelback shouldnt moan about whos playing.

Everyone has their own tastes and they're opinion to moan about.

[Dannny]

very true and thats what a forums all about.

saw nickelback at v years and years ago and they were good, althought he enemy will never be good at anything.

[thetime]

He said the Enemy are better than Muse.. GET HIM! GET HIM NOW!

[Flaminglippy]

which is like saying whos more evil saddam or hitler

[luckysalt]

I bloody don't want him there

He would be fine as filler on main stage in the day, but headliner, f**k off

would rather

White Stripes

The Strokes

Kasabian

Faithless

as a top two main stage each day, think thats quite realistic actually

[PaulDavis]

I want him to play, but not headline!!

I only want to see him for Empire State of Mind and Run This Town and also to say i saw him since the majority of middlesbrough will like him for various reasons

jay-z is shit. sorry, listened to alot of his stuff, and it just doesent click with me. i do like some rap, but my rap tastes are very limited, the only rap albums i love are:

marshall mathers/ slim shady lp's - Eminem

black sunday - cypress hill

college dropout - kanye west (yes i know he's a cock himself, but this album is brilliant)

i also like some jurassic 5 and notorious b.i.g stuff, but not albums.

jay-z - NO.

eminem, kanye west or cypress hill - YES PLEASE

[jonnyx]

This really is a bad thread.

Nickleback

The Enemy

Eminem!.

…and somebody bizarrely claiming that Kasabian are bigger than Jay-Z?.

I like very limited Hip hop, and Jay-Z is not for me. But there is no denying he is at the top of his game and would fit the V crowd perfectly.

[Dannny]

Shite!

Its called opinion danny! I think kasabian shouldn't be playing a third stage never mind headlining festivals! My favorite artist is bjork but I don't think many people realise how fantastic she is

"Despite his optimism he has told fellow organisers he is unwilling to take such a large financial risk with future Glastonbury events. Tickets sold out for the three-day event on the last day but less than two months ago, with tens of thousands of tickets unsold, Eavis was contemplating £5m losses"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/jun/30/glastonbury.uk

"Year before last I was stressed, trying to sell all the tickets, with the Jay-Z situation"

http://www.safeconcerts.com/festivals/glas...s-september.asp

"Eavis told BBC News that he would go for "traditional" headliners, and revealed that the stress caused by this year's slow ticket sails took its toll on him physically."

It was a poor move outside of a rap festival...

People expect Glasto to be bad weather, im fairy sure they only ever suggested the weather put people off as a "cover" for the crud sales.

In 2007 it was utterly mud soup, but rammed, i didnt see any one leaving early. I really dont think the weather puts off Glasto goers...

That and the fact the general lineup was a bit MEH....
